The Arizona Coyotes had another rough night, falling 4-2 to the visiting Nashville Predators. A slow start doomed the Coyotes, who fell behind early and could not catch up in the final period.
Nashville opened up the scoring less than a minute into the game. The Predators came in with numbers, and Mattias Ekholm knocked a rebound past Karel Vejmelka, giving the Predators a 1-0 lead just 56 seconds after puck drop.
The early goal led to an early fight, with Liam O’Brien and Mark Borowiecki dropping the gloves on the next faceoff.
